I have 200 with Charter and only have that because they doubled from 100. We have zero issues streaming multiple things. -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 10:26
I have 200 and have never had any issues -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 10:21
I read this as "400 Mops" and thought that seemed excessive. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 2, 09:55
Honestly for me, upload matters way more than download. Mostly streaming is fine at 20 meg or more. Where I hate waiting is syncing stuff back up to - oblique Mar 2, 09:50
Difference between 200 and 400 is $20. Or gigabit for $20 more than 400, but gigabit includes the router for free. - ty97 Mar 2, 09:48 2
- Sounds like Spectrum Cable Service youre signing up for. I have 400Mbps, get closer to 500-Mbps with it -- nm* - budice Mar 2, 10:01
- buy your own router (the 'everyone should always own their own cable modem and router' post) -- nm* - decline Mar 2, 09:49
I know you're not home a lot. How much do you stream?> -- nm - David Mar 2, 09:42 7
- I have only 100Mbps and have zero issues streaming -- nm - decline Mar 2, 09:47 3
  - A single person should be able to easily get by with 50Mbps I would think, but higher speeds are nice too. -- nm - Shaun Mar 2, 09:49 2
    - Yup, when I got rid of cable I also downgraded from 400 - I have not even noticed and I stream YT TV daily -- nm - decline Mar 2, 09:50 1
      - I mean 4k streams only recommend 25Mbps. -- nm - Shaun Mar 2, 09:52
- I am home more often than not nowadays. Streaming is my only TV source. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 09:47 2
  - If the price different is $15 or less monthly, I'd recommend doubling the speed. -- nm - David Mar 2, 09:55
  - I stream movies to my computer while using Xbox on 150 without an issue. -- nm - Max Mar 2, 09:49
200 is fine -- nm - decline Mar 2, 09:35 1
- Unless you want to go fast. -- nm - budice Mar 2, 09:39
